I have a question about kbdcontrol, and it may be a bug.  When using
kbdcontrol -l mapfile to load a keyboard map on one vt, it affects the
keyboard mappings on all vt's.

For example, if on ttyv0 I type kbdcontrol -l emacs.kbd, and switch to,
say, ttyv4, this tty has the same keybindings.  If I switch back to vt0
and load a different keymap, the keymappings on all vty's change
simultaneously.

I'm using syscons.

Thanks for any input.

   Donn
